Abstract
With the booming growth of network technology, the problems of information disclosure are becoming more and more serious. The attribute-based encryption has been one of hotspots for the advantage of fine-grained access control. In this paper, a provably secure ciphertext-policy hierarchical attribute-based encryption is proposed, which can satisfy the need of attribute hierarchy in attribute-based encryption and overcome the shortage of access control policies in the logic operations. We give a solution to the problem of hierarchical relationship between attributes in the same category in attribute-based encryption and provide a more expressive description of the access control structure. The security of the proposed CP-HABE scheme is proved in the standard model on the basis of decisional l parallel-BDHE assumption. Also the performance analysis is provided.
